I remember UPN or some other non-cable channel back in the day running DBZ and Sailor Moon back to back early in the morning. I think a few of the channels just crammed all the anime together when they were testing the weeb waters.

Hamtaro was on the Toonami block for a while.

It was like, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Hamtaro, DBZ.

It's neat watching DBZA slowly fade into Internet obscurity in the wake of AI slop taking front and center stage.

If they had just gotten over themselves and done the Buu saga, or released the HFIL and Shortz episodes more frequently, they might still have some relevance.

I still assume they will do the Buu saga eventually, it'll get to a point where they have no option and need to go back to their most successful work. It's not like they can make any money off of anything else they've done.

Only way they'll do the Buu saga if Taha and Lani have enough of Kaisers shit and shove a 5$ boot up his ass and show him the door.

Apparently Martin lost all of the data off his computer and had re-tool this episode into two halves. He allegedly promises the next half soon. That's always promising for a YouTube video. Nice to know he'll be finished with the filler arc by 2030 though.
 
Marin is now even fatter and bearded and yet still sounds nothing like a man.

5 years we've been on this filler arc. He didn't even make an episode last year.
 
Episode was about as unfunny and forgettable as the rest of his season 5 episodes. Shit like this makes me glad TFS stopped at Cell.

In December, mind you. Meaning he managed to do all the editing writing and audio recording in under 2 months. Really makes you wonder why it takes 1-2 years per episode.

Though honestly, if my wife pooned out I'd be far too depressed to work on anything either.

Martin's an asshole. Goo look at his Bsky if you want to see a middle-aged man cry about people being mean to him.

I don’t think you’ll find anyone on this site defending Martin in the last decade at least. I keep meaning to put together a timeline for ygotas’ production, just to get a clear picture of how fucking drawn out it has gotten.

Martin is like 42 or 43 this year. In comparison: Kazuki Takahashi was 43 when the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga ended after 8 years of serialization.
 
I feel like I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Yu-Gi-Oh went through its entire anime run (not counting Season 0) and five spin-offs in the time it's taken this guy to even get to the final arc of an abridged series.

Martin’s coming up on 20 years of doing this. Yu-Gi-Oh! ran for 8 and is approaching its 30th anniversary. 20 years in is when we got Dark Side of Dimensions. It really is mind boggling how anyone could get this far on a creative endeavor and never so much as develop the skills to create an original work. LK and TFS really were niche nerd lotteries.

And of those 30 years, how much of it was Yu-Gi-Oh going all in on Duel Monsters? It'd probably make LK's lack of progress even more insane.

I'd be interested in seeing that because I wonder if my memory is playing tricks on me or if I just got used to the delays. I remember it feeling like it took him forever to get from the Paradox Bros to the end of Duelist Kingdom, but Battle City seemed to come out pretty regularly.

God, back in the day, three months felt like an eternity between videos. Him finally having Yugi beat Pegasus was a big deal that took so long to happen... and in reality it was only about a year and a half.

Hard to make funny content when your only joke is to take the context out of a situation then comment on how silly it is.

As the show established the rules of the game, the abridged series had less and less jokes on the content besides the already grating character jokes. And Littlekuriboh is a faggot that doesn't even try to actually research the game to spice up what happens during the duels.

For example this is funny without resorting to character comedy:

I've never played the game so I don't know how accurate it is, but the two episodes of If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device where they play (convoluted name to avoid saying Yugioh) it seemed like a very good way of making fun of the mechanics and deck types (the Emperor ran a voltron deck, Tzeentch had a broken combo deck, and the captain of the Custodian Guard was made to play what I can only assume was a pauper deck.)
